"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State."	Thomas Jefferson
"It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read."	Thomas Jefferson
"Difference of opinion is helpful in religion."	Thomas Jefferson
"As an atheist you have to rationalize things... Then you have to try and make some sort of sense out of your problems. And if you try and find you can't, you have no choice but to be good and scared -- but that's okay!"	Billy Joel
"Grace is not against good works! It simply does not bless on the basis of good works. We receive blessing from God based solely on the merits of His Son--blessings freely given to us in Christ and nowhere else. The completeness that is in Christ mean deliverance from trying to 'be good' and 'do right' in order to be accepted by God."	Richard Jordan
"The ultimate most holy form of theory is action."	Nikos Kazantzakis
"Each of us, as members of the Body of Christ, has been given at least one spiritual gift. Besides this, there are the natural abilities with which God has endowed us. He intends these to primarily be used for the edification of the Body of believers. There is no such thing as a private gift (Rom. 12:6-8)."	Bruce Kemper
"To exclude from positions of trust and command all those below the age of 44 would have kept Jefferson from writing the Declaration of Independence, Washington from commanding the Continental Army, Madison from fathering the Constitution, Hamilton from serving as secretary of the treasury, Clay from being elected speaker of the House and Christopher Columbus from discovering America."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"I hope that no American ... will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"If I had to live my life over again, I would have a different father, a different wife and a different religion."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Words that enlighten are more precious than jewels."	Hazrat Inayat Khan
"If you will protest courageously, and yet with dignity and Christian love, when the history books are written in future generations, the historians will have to pause and say, "There lived a great people-a black people-who injected new meaning and dignity into the veins of civilization."	Martin Luther King, Jr.
"People need religion. It's a vehicle for a moral tradition. A crucial role. Nothing can take its place."	Irving Kristol
"In the total expanse of human life there is not a single square inch of which the Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, That is mine!"	Abraham Kuyper
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."	Dalai Lama
"Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want-and their kids pay for it."	Richard Lamm
"The primary task of the Church is not to mend the manners of the community, but to proclaim the matchless Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. When men hear that Gospel and believe it, their lives will give evidence of their faith."	Walter Dale Langtry
"The sage wears clothes of coarse cloth but carries jewels in his bosom; He knows himself but does not display himself; He loves himself but does not hold himself in high esteem."	Lao-Tzu
"Christianity is a matter of willing God's will and through Christ become one with it."	John Leax
"Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith [but] they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ."	Clive Staples Lewis
